“This is The Highest Degree Compliment” – Naomi Osaka

A few days ago Naomi Osaka spoke about her ‘crippling shyness’ on the big stages of tennis or whenever she comes across celebrities like Jay-Z. She stated having ‘a lot of regrets’ before going to bed. It was all because she couldn’t utter everything that she really wanted to, and it was due to her reserved nature. Also, she feels it’s simply a waste of time.

The Japanese star recently started an interview series on Instagram and she conferred with various tennis stars. Till now Frances Tiafoe, Gael Monfils, and Stefanos Tsitsipas have been on her show, and Naomi has confidently interviewed them and was candid throughout the session.

After coming across her flawless interviewing skills, one of her fans on Twitter complimented Osaka for unveiling the blanket of shyness. “Love Naomi coming out of her shyness! I think she was faking being shy. She’s a natural-born interviewer!!” the fan tweeted.

An obliged Naomi Osaka cheerfully replied to the comment. She was delighted to discover her progress in becoming an outspoken person. “I love that I’m able to articulate myself well enough now to the point where people think I was faking being shy. This is actually the highest degree compliment I can get. Thank you for helping me realize my growth,” she replied.

There have been some incidents in her life, wherein she was wanted to express more, but she really couldn’t do. And her reserved nature led her to miss a conversation with Jay-Z, and she is genuinely remorseful about it.
